Spare parts - pricey

Wee update on this as Grimmy and Marcus have been tidying up a little. Wheels on, exhaust hooked back up and the car was running fine for 90 minutes with no leaks and no switching off (which was an issue last weekend when warm)

Things are looking good for it's first test run as soon as I clean up the rear caliper sliding pins!

Cheers mate, last year we had a blast in it so hopefully we'll get even more pleasure knowing we stripped it down and built it back up!

Also less worried about my mk2 giving up the ghost (at 119,000 miles so far!) as an engine swap seems less daunting.

Not tempting fate though as I hope this engine runs for another 119k!

Couple of little jobs today so gave it a good clean then put my boots on it to take the white ones to inflate, Looking like it's ready to go now.
